Nathan Curnow launches his latest collection, The Apocalypse Awards on Friday the 13th of the Collected Works Bookshop.

‘Nathan Curnow’s poems reveal a willingness to take risks – with form, subject-matter and technique. His eye for detail and ear for exquisite music have always been hallmarks of his work, and The Apocalypse Awards is testament to these gifts. Arresting imagery, deft shaping of line and control of breath are in abundance. This is Curnow’s finest book to date.’ – Anthony Lawrence
